The shrub layer is usually dense and evergreen, and is typically dominated by <i>Ilex coriacea</i> and <i>Lyonia lucida</i>. Herb diversity is low, but this stratum may include <i>Carex atlantica, Carex intumescens, Chasmanthium laxum, Mayaca fluviatilis (= Mayaca aubletii), Mitchella repens, Osmunda cinnamomea, Osmunda regalis var. spectabilis, Platanthera</i> spp., <i>Woodwardia areolata</i>, and <i>Sphagnum</i> spp. This association is known from the Fall-line Sandhills region and the outer Coastal Plain of Georgia and South Carolina.
